Wands are available for purchase at the East Troy Lights Make the Magic Concession Stand (Fridays and Saturdays), East Troy Brewery, Sauced Pizzeria and Home on the Square. Thanks to a special partnership with the East Troy Elementary PTO and East Troy Community School District, local students will create their own wands through a hands-on STEAM project, bringing classroom creativity to life in the heart of downtown East Troy.
Give a gift that shines this holiday season while supporting one of East Troy’s most beloved traditions!
Purchase a personalized disco ball or ornament featuring your loved one’s name to be displayed in the iconic East Troy Lights Tunnel throughout the holiday season.
Honor someone special, celebrate a family tradition or give a one-of-a-kind gift while helping keep East Troy Lights glowing for years to come.
We’ll also send a special gift card to the recipient letting them know you’ve gifted an East Troy Lights decoration in their honor!
Help us fill the tunnel with sparkle in time for New Year’s Eve!
